treatment Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Mine's on SAL, so won't get delivered until next week. Quote
mechaninac Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Mine is in SAL untraceable La-La land. I'll get her when I get her; it usually takes 2.5-3 weeks, but my last SAL shipped order from amiami took almost 6 weeks to arrive... that had me thinking I had incurred a loss. Quote
myk Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Why do you guys use SAL if it's such bad service? Quote
myk Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Not worth the savings IMO. I mean, we're already spending big bucks on girls and bots, I don't see the point of skimping on the shipping... Quote
treatment Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 SAL's not really a bad service. It's cheap and I'm not in any particular hurry. Quote
JB0 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I suppose it should be noted that it isn't like SAL delays are because stuff is getting lost or anything. The very nature of SAL means they can't guarantee when a shipment goes out. It leaves whenever there's extra room in a shipment. This is documented up-front. So it's not that incompetence abounds, just that the core premise IS that shipping soeed is a gamble. Quote
Marzan Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 One advantage I've had with SAL, is once every blue moon, customs lets the package (which is of course above the 20 Euro threshold for being duty bound) arrive without me having to pay anything. That never happens with EMS or the like when customs always picks up on them and makes me pay the price. And the shipment is stuck with them a couple of days usually before I'm notified how much I have to pay. Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I've only had ONE setback using SAL shipping during my 15 years of Macross/JDM toy collecting. If you don't mind waiting its a nice alternative. But if you're the impatient type then by all means go EMS. I'd also go with the latter for your high ticket items. Anyways...so pumped for the movie boxset next month. Quote

Dobber Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm confused, didn't Hasegawa already release this years ago? Also, a Black one too? Chris Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Its like a screenshot of the Baby Got Back music video. Mix would be proud. Quote

anime52k8 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Huh. What's she doing? I hope this one is cast-off capable... that'll never happen. Quote
myk Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 that'll never happen. Well not from Megahouse, but do you think another company might try something like that? Quote
JB0 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The real question is why get figures with removable parts in the first place? Just get nekkid plastic to start with. No compromises! Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Well not from Megahouse, but do you think another company might try something like that? nope. It's not that megahouse doesn't want to because they've done plenty of explicit figures before. It's down to what the license holder will let the figure makers do. Quote
myk Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 The real question is why get figures with removable parts in the first place? Just get nekkid plastic to start with. No compromises! It's for the weirdo collectors like me who like to display their women in various states of dress/undress/violation. What can I say, I'm a sick man. nope. It's not that megahouse doesn't want to because they've done plenty of explicit figures before. It's down to what the license holder will let the figure makers do. Ah, well that's just too bad...

electric indigo Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 There's a new (online exclusive?)

Sildani Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Damn, those 18 inchers were marvels of ballistic engineering. To think, Japan was building stuff like that barely 80 years after the end of the Shogunate. Just remarkable. Quote
TangledThorns Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I wonder what the vibration must of felt like in that ship when the guns fired. Quote
